Why do people try in colonies? "Medusa" talked about this with the employees of the FSIN

In early October, the human rights project Gulagu.net published a series of videos from Russian colonies, which are captured torture and sexual violence against prisoners. Investigators opened several criminal cases, a number of FSIN employees lost their posts. Medusa talked with the department’s employees about why people constantly try to people in Russian colonies - and how employees themselves justify the use of violence to prisoners.

Why the case of the rector Shaninka Sergei Zuev concerns each of us. Explain political scientists, sociologists and economists

As a result of the detention of Sergei Zuev, one of the main humanitarian universities of the country was left without a leader - and this is not exhausted by this. Here's what about the new process, which is already compared with the case of the Seventh Studio, says the sociologist and art critic Anatoly Golubovsky : “I do not know what will happen to Shanynka as an institution. But if Zuev is excluded from the educational process, it will certainly be a huge loss for both education and science. This is a certificate of growing intellectual, ethical degradation that occurs in the country. ”

"Medusa" publishes a letter to Alexei Navalny, addressed to his employees and associates

The main Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny has been in prison for more than eight months. During this time, the Russian authorities defeated structures associated with Navalny; His followers were declared "extremists." Despite this, the politician team continued to work. The most important project in 2021 was the Smart Voting Strategy in the September elections to the State Duma, which met the fierce resistance of the authorities. At the disposal of Medusa was a letter from Alexei Navalny, addressed to his associates and employees. We publish this letter without abbreviations.

Quote: “When you work, you should never and under no circumstances have thoughts:“ How would it be not to be stuck, suddenly this will damage Navalny? ” Or “maybe it is not to publish it, otherwise you never know what will come out with him?” Publish. Burn. Work without looking back. With terrorists, exciting hostages, we are not negotiating. ”

Podkast "What happened"

Rector Shanka in custody. It seems that a new political process has begun in Russia. Against whom? Against a particular university, all scientists or liberals in power?

Sergei Zuev became one of the six defendants in the case of the theft of budget funds. In the same case, the former Deputy Minister of Education Marina Rakova is taking place. The investigation believes that Shaninka has not fulfilled two contracts for which she received 21 million rubles from the Fund for new forms of education development. The rector does not plead guilty. Is this a matter of actually against whom? Against Shanka or the liberal part of the bureaucracy? Is it a political matter? We discuss with political scientist Alexander Kynev
